I actually don’t have too many words to describe how yummy this banana bread is, except you may want to make sure you give some away or have lots of people around because it is much to easy to eat lots of it. It combines a simple, low fat banana bread recipe with rich Nutella to create a truly decadent bread for only 4 weight watchers points plus and under 150 calories.

I haven’t tried it without the butter. You could try replacing it with more applesauce, but it may affect the texture since you wouldn’t be able to cream the sugar and butter together. If you try it let me know how it turns out!

I tried this recipe today, and I’m very pleased with the results. I was nervous about the sheer volume of mashed banana that went into the batter, but my worries about mushy bread were for nothing–the loaf came out great! Moist, soft, and very tasty. And even with Nutella in it, it’s lower in calories than even the low-calorie banana bread I’ve made before! Definitely my new favorite way to use up overripe bananas :).

The applesauce is a replacement for the oil that would normally be used. You could try replacing it with a pumpkin puree, a 1/4 cup vegetable oil (which would increase the points), or another fruit puree. I haven’t tried it this way before but it should work.

Although I haven’t tried it, I think it would work to substitute in an extra 1/4 cup mushed bananas. You could also try pumpkin puree or maybe yogurt. If you don’t mind some extra calories, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil would also work since that is what the applesauce is meant to replace in a typical higher calorie bread recipe.

This recipe is absolutely fantastic! I made this last Sunday and my husband and I had a piece of it for breakfast each day this week. I asked him what he wants next week for breakfast and he says the banana nutella bread, so I will be making another batch tomorrow!

These just came out of the oven and my very picky 2.5 yr old and I just split a mini loaf and he’s begging for more! I used my Pampered Chef 12 mini loaf square pan and they are the perfect size. Thanks for our new fav recipe!!!

I made this recipe and it was delicious ! I didn’t have applesauce but puréed strawberries and used that instead. Also, I substituted butter for coconut oil… Great SUB and you won’t miss the butter:). Coconut oil is solid when room temp so you have to melt it. I don’t use microwave… I take a metal ramican some restaraunt use for katchup and put on the stove for a minute-2… Making sure to use a towel when getting off the stove bc it will be hot. Otherwise, microwave starting at 30secs until melted and there you go!

Oh I could not wait to try this recipe! Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out exactly the way I wanted. I followed all directions to the T but my bread turned out a to be a mushy mess on the inside, is this normal? J baked it for 45 min then baked it an additional 15 min but then I noticed the edges getting too dark so I finally took it out of the oven. Is the mushiness due to the banana? I wasn’t pleased with the inside texture. Did I do something wrong? Has anyone experienced this? Help!
